Connecting with Earth and Heaven

Whether you are a trained psychic, a natural intuitive, or simply interested in solid spiritual guidance, you need to have a great connection to your own spiritual source.

I want to share an energy technique I use every day in order to perform professional tarot readings. This technique will help you stay grounded and open to your intuition and spiritual guidance.

This technique uses the root (base) chakra, also known as the first chakra, and the crown chakra, also known as the seventh chakra.

If you are unfamiliar with the concept of chakras, do not worry. While there is a great deal of knowledge, insight, and healing available to us all from the study of chakras, you do not need to have all that knowledge in order to use this technique.

At least once a day, and any time you need to feel refreshed and inspired, or when you are seeking to connect with the wisdom of your own intuition, your angels, or your ancestors, try this.

Sit or stand comfortably. Keep your spine straight, and make notice of your feet on the floor, and/or your bottom in your chair.

Slow your breathing, and breathe as deeply and fully as you can. Stay focused on your breathing.

Now, turn your attention to the very base of your spine. Breathe into this area, and recognize this area as your first chakra. From this energy center at the base of your spine, send energy into your legs and your feet. Each time you exhale, send the energy further down. Finally, send the energy from your feet into the earth. Feel your energy rooting into the ground.

Then, as you inhale, feel your own connection to the earth. Allow the energy of the earth to support you and sustain you.

Now, breathe that energy back up into your feet, your legs, and, finally, all the way up your spine. Let the energy gather at the top of your head. With a big exhale, let the crown chakra at the top of your head open and send your energy as a beam of violet light toward heaven.

At this time, call in your angels, guides and ancestors, asking for their help and wisdom.

In this moment, you are connected to earth and to heaven. You are grounded and supported by the earth, and you are inspired and enlightened by spirit.

As this energy runs through your spine it brings you healing and well-being.

You will find that doing this exercise for a few minutes every day heightens your intuition. By keeping you connected to earth as well as heaven, this exercise will also increase your well-being and prosperity.

Clarity in Every Tarot Card Live on Zoom

Join us for our next premium Zoom tarot class on Thursday, March 25, 7 pm to 9 pm EST!

Whether you are a new tarot enthusiast, a professional reader, or somewhere in-between, you know the struggle. Sometimes the cards show up in clear and poignant ways. Other times they speak in mysteries and give clues rather than clear direction. Whether reading for yourself or others, this can be a discouraging and frustrating for even the most learned seekers.

In this class you will learn to use keywords, context, and intuition to find the truth presented by the cards. These techniques will help you give an amazing tarot reading each and every time you use your cards.

Class fee is $37.50. Register now.

Chakras and Tarot

I often think about the Aces of tarot in relation to the chakras. I think of the Ace of Pentacles as the root chakra. The sacral chakra and the heart chakra are the Ace of Cups. The solar plexus is the Ace of Wands. The Ace of Swords is the throat and the brow.

The question is, which Ace is the crown chakra?

Sometimes I think the crown chakra could be all the Aces together, or perhaps the Magician, card One in the Major Arcana.

Very often, when the Aces show up in tarot readings, part of their interpretation will include a reference to the care and maintenance of a corresponding chakra.

I like to do a chakra tarot reading by simply laying out, from bottom to top, one card for each chakra. From this I can learn a lot about a person, including their motivations, hurts, well-being and spiritual connection.

There are many ways to play with chakras and tarot together. Have fun and see what you can learn and discover!

Making Plans for Northeastern Tarot Tours

It has been way too long since I have been able to travel to visit with my friends in the Northeast.

I am planning a short trip to Connecticut in May, and a longer tour in August.

In May I plan to be available for house calls, private readings and psychic house parties May 21 through May 26.

During the summer I am planning a visit from July 26 through August 9.

I am happy to travel to your location in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts or New York.

I am able to provide you with a wonderful reading experience, or to give a class or psychic gallery to a group that you would assemble.

I will also be doing a limited number of private appointments at True Bikram Yoga in Madison, Connecticut.

I am happy to work in any way that makes you feel comfortable. Masks, social distancing, and working together in outdoor spaces can allow us to have a safe and wonderful experience together.

My appointment times are limited and are likely to schedule quickly.

To get on the calendar for the May or August trip, please call or text 561-655-1160, or email me.

During my tours I continue to be available for readings by phone, Skype, FaceTime, Messenger and Zoom.

Cards for Your Consideration

The Eight of Wands is a card I often consider when I think about the practice of moving energy through my body, and directing my energy toward my intentions.

Very typically the Eight of Wands shows eight wands moving through the air.

We can’t see where they are going, or where they will land.

This is a card that indicates and advises swiftness.

Yet, as a Fire card, we can also find within it ample creativity and spiritual energy.

Sometimes this card may appear to remind us to do our energy work to support our healing, our grounding, and our spiritual connection.

This card reminds us that just because something is neither visible nor tactile does not mean it does not exist. Spiritual energy is real. We can feel it, and work with it.
